The Valley Song Songtext

von Jars of Clay

You have led me
To the sadness.
I have carried this pain
On a back bruised,
Nearly broken.
I'm crying out to you.
I will sing of your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy
When death,
Like a gypsy,
Comes to steal what i love,
I will still
Look to the heavens
I will still seek your face.
But i fear
You aren't listening
Because there are no words,
Just the stillness,
And the hunger
For a faith that assures.
I will sing of your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy. 2x
Alleluia 4x
While we wait
For our resuce
With our eyes tightly shut,
Face to the ground,
Using our hands
To cover the fatal cut.
Though the pain is an ocean,
Tossing us around around around,
You have calmed greater waters.
Higher mountains have come down.
I will sing of your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy.
Yeah
Alleluia 4x
I will sing of your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy. 2x
